A Warrior's Bond – Chapter 2
Bo and Tamsin broke their kiss and looked towards the noise with shocked expressions that just screamed 'BUSTED'. Lauren stopped in her tracks, frazzled from rushing to the bar and also confused at the scene that was before her.
"Lauren?!" Bo stated in shock as she attempted to put more space between her and Tamsin's bodies, only to realize that the Valkyrie's arms trapped her around her neck, holding her in place.
"Uh…Kenzi texted me. She said that you were hurt," She eyes the two still well within each other's personal space atop the pool table. Lauren crossed her arms and shifted her posture to mirror her frustration, "Weird…you look pretty refreshed to me."
Tamsin cleared her throat as her shock finally faded back to sadness. Bo's girlfriend just walked in on them…yet another reminder that she could never have what she wanted. The Valkyrie released her hold on Bo and both shuffled off of the pool table, adjusting their clothes—or in Bo's case, the tattered remains—as they went.
"No! Well…yeah I am now. Tamsin, uh, let me—"
"Oh…I think I got it." She stated with a sickeningly sweet smile that screamed fake. It drove a stake of guilt even deeper into Bo.
"Hey," Tamsin stepped forward with a dark look in her eye as she stood between Bo and Lauren, glaring the other blonde down, "Bo was about to die from a Fenrir attack. I could barely keep her conscious long enough to feed. She followed your 'No Dyson' rule and I healed her up good as new and in record time. So…back off!"
Lauren's eyes widened in fear at the dark look in Tamsin's steely blue glare. She could have sworn she saw the beginnings of shadows crawling across the blonde's cheeks and aimed in her own direction. She saw some other emotion sparked behind her eyes, if she didn't know any better she would have said it was the look Dyson got when he defended Bo…Fierce protectiveness for the number one person in their life.
Tamsin saw the realization Lauren came to with the quirk of her head and the daggers behind her eyes. Her little outburst was a step too far and now Lauren was suspicious. It was one thing for Trick to know about her feelings; all he reacted with was pride in his grand daughter. But Lauren? Hell no…Tamsin was just another threat to her relationship she couldn't compete with in the doctor's eyes.
Their stare off was ended as Bo laid a hand on Tamsin's forearm, taking her attention as the tingles from her touch calmed her, "Hey, it's alright Tamsin. Thank you for saving me, but I think I need to talk to Lauren. I'll see you tomorrow right?" Bo pleaded, hoping the blonde wouldn't run off. Of course it was the right thing to do, but Tamsin was officially in too deep. She nodded slowly and looked away as she left the Dal, fighting the urge to look back with everything in her.
Bo walked into the crack shack with frustration evident on her face as well as a well-placed slam of the door, drawing dust from the exposed ceiling.
"I get it!" Kenzi shouted as she sprung off the couch with a hand covering her eyes, "Ya'll want your privacy and a cozy bed to get freaky, I'm not here and I'm not looking and I don't wanna know." Leave it to Kenzi to put a smile back on Bo's face as her friend shuffled her way towards her room blindly.
"Kenzi, I'm not—"
"No need BoBo! I'm used to this by now…Just heal her up good, Detective Snarky Pants. It's worth the amount of earplugs I go though to know that my girl's alive—Ow!" Kenzi's rant was cut off as she slammed her knee into the wall.
"You done?" Bo questioned with a smirk that only grew brighter seeing Kenzi peak through her fingers like a five year old checking for monsters.
"Woah! You're like…healed!" The Russian girl's awkward exit was quickly forgotten as she charged up to Bo, inspecting for wounds. "Dude…if Dyson's junk could cure cancer, Tamsin is what obliterates the inevitable zombie virus!" Bo chuckled as she looked down shyly as she remembered her experience on the pool table.
"Yeah, Tamsin's pretty amazing like that."
"Hey…are you…OMG! You're totally blushing!" Kenzi shrieked with a bounce at the newest juicy gossip.
"Am not! I'm a Succubus…I don't blush about that stuff—"
"Really? So…how was getting freaky with the new Wonder-Snatch?" Bo looked away again as she sat on the sofa, avoiding Kenzi's gaze at all costs. The smaller girl chased after her light-heartedly only to end up hopping in the brunette's lap and hold her face in her direction. "Speak woman! Because this puts a new definition to the term 'quickie'."
"We didn't—"
"Nope, not allowed to hold out on details I actually ask for—that's how this system works Succu-bunny!"
"I'm serious Kenz," she replies with a chuckle as she lifts the tiny girl off her lap and on the couch next to her as they gossiped, "we didn't even get out of our clothes."
"Is this some weird Dawning-effect thing? You've never healed from a paper cut that fast let alone a rabid Fae beating…do I gotta get Doc's shots back out?"
"No…no it's nothing like that. I'd know if I was losing it like that. I…I really don't know why but its something about her chi. It's…tantalizing."
"We talking on a level with Dyson delicious or Lauren luscious?"
"Its…like both. It's strong like Dyson's but the taste is closer to Lauren's only…Better."
"No shiz? Damn…Wait! I get the power boost, Trick says that Tamsin is like one crazy strong warrior bitch. But I thought you said that taste is effected by emotions." Bo nods as Kenzi ponders for a second before continuing, "I know you two have been buddy-buddy since she helped you save me from Inari but—"
"That's just it though. When we were…well making out I guess…I felt something." Bo stated conflicted.
"Well I'm no expert…but I'm pretty sure that the low down tingles are supposed to happen if you're doin' it right." Kenzi teased with a smirk earning an eye roll and chuckle from Bo as she slapped the younger girl's arm, getting her back on track.
"I'm serious here Kenzi! There was something going on between us…I was feeding and didn't think I was going to be able to stop. I felt her start to get weak and pulled away really fast. She told me to keep going but…I had this huge overwhelming urge to protect her for some reason."
"Weird sauce, dude." Kenzi shuffled to focus more on Bo's story, hearing it as more interesting then her usual tales of feeds.
"Right? Then…she just looked at me and said it was alright and let me take some more. She started getting handsy and then I got this like…burst of bliss—"
"Ew! God, I don't wanna know shit like that!" Kenzi backed up with a disgusted expression on her face as she covered her ears childishly trying to block the information out.
"No! Ah, not like that. Her chi, it was like super-mega charged and it insta-healed everything that hadn't already."
"That's never happened before?" Kenzi had calmed down enough to become serious again.
"Never, ever. It's scary as hell but at the same time…it's like, I know I'm safe."
"Them's some weird ass feelings for a chick that was trying to put you in prison for months."
"She's also the only other person who believed me when I said you were missing." Bo replied, piquing Kenzi's interest as she quirked her head in thought.
"Good point…I'm suddenly about to jump on the Team Tamsin train. I'd say have her as your own personal buffet, but with all those feelings I bet Lauren would turn her one rule into two." Bo looks down as a wave of sorrow crosses her expression making Kenzi confused. "What I say?"
"Lauren broke up with me…"
"She WHAT!?" Kenzi jumped up from her spot on the couch and began pacing in frustration as she mumbled in Russian, no doubt about a certain blonde, heart-breaking doctor.
"Kenz, you're doing the Russian thing again!"
"Well can you blame me?!" Kenzi stated in Bo's direction with wild eyes, "That bitch! Since Hale's been so busy she's been my Bro, Bo! Ugh…I shared a burger with her last week…We bonded over watching you turn those Fae-Piglets into bacon," She stops her rant to see Bo's distant expression, "And why am I taking this breakup harder then you?"
"Huh? Oh…sorry. Just thinking."
"Well stop thinking and let me know if you can spare the details without breaking down…since when have you and Doctor Hotpants had issues?"
"It's…been a while I guess. Ever since I started feeding on other people. It felt like we were becoming more distant, I guess. Then all this Dawning stuff, and she didn't trust me with you being missing! God…my own Girlfriend did tests on me while you were chained up in a bear trap." Bo finished with a groan of frustration as her eyebrows furrowed.
"And eating earrings I might add." Kenzi supplied with a shake of her finger.
"And eating earrings!" Bo added as Kenzi plopped next to her again and pulled Bo into a comforting embrace as her break up finally crashed down on her.
"It'll be okay BoBo…Maybe I won't have to see you so exhausted with being a one woman sex machine anymore?"
"She was afraid of me, Kenzi." Bo whispered as a tear escaped her eye and ran down her cheek. The Russian girl winced at how she knew Bo must have felt and hugged her tighter. "She thought I was going to hurt her…we were fighting and I got really upset, I felt that animal in me start to come out again. I turned around and leaned towards the bar to calm down…I left marks I gripped it so hard." Bo finished with a saddened whisper.
"What got you so mad?" Kenzi said softly, wanting to understand.
"She accused me of cheating on her."
Kenzi pulled back from the hug with a raised eyebrow in the Succubus' direction.
"Dr. Go-feed-on-anyone-but-Dyson said that? Isn't she the one who was all for keeping you healthy and feeding regularly?"
"Not like that…more…emotionally cheating on her."
"Oh! But…why would she think that, this Tamsin thing is new and it's not like you actually—" She stopped when she saw Bo look away with slightly reddened cheeks again. It hit Kenzi like a ton of bricks as she froze with a dramatic gasp and pause before continuing, "Bo Dennis! You randy little Succubus! You got the hots for Detective Snarky Pants!" She finished with a wide teasing smile and playful shove to the still smiling Bo. "God, you've got such a thing for blondes…It's horribly cliché." She continued to tease Bo, earning another smack on the shoulder. "Anyway…please continue."
"She may have…walked into the Dal as me and Tamsin were—"
"—Shit! I texted her!" Kenzi jumped, realizing their breakup was partly her fault only seeing a slight, sad smile from Bo that said she didn't blame her.
"It's alright…anyway she started freaking out that I was cheating on her with Tamsin…she didn't believe I was really hurt because I healed so fast. The only thing that let her buy it was how shredded my clothes are."
"Well, duh!"
"She got over it, and started commenting on how feeding from Tamsin had to be a one time thing. I can't lie to Lauren…she sees right through it so I had to tell her that I'd fed from her before—"
"Wait, what!?" Kenzi sputtered again, realizing how little girl talk the two had had ever since the Norn had infected her. Some serious bestie time needed to be had, stat. "Since the hell when have you and Psycho Blonde been taking munchies breaks?!"
"Well…back with those pigs, Lauren said I was kissing Tamsin when she ran in to stab me with the antidote. I didn't remember it…but she made sure to toss it in my face after I told her about in the woods when we were saving you. She let me feed off her because I was basically crawling to Inari's cave."
"That's why you looked so juiced…" she replied in realization before her eyebrows furrowed again, "but…why would you be emotionally cheating on her? You've only fed when you had no control or were basically dieing."
"Um…I may have mentioned how Tamsin ran up and kissed me in Brazenwood during my Dawning invitation…" Bo quickly stood up and scurried to the kitchen, leaving Kenzi to her shock.
Several moments passed as Kenzi looked around randomly trying to process all the information thrown her way. She stood up and slunk her way to the kitchen where Bo was anxiously pouring them glasses of wine, refusing to meet her friend's eyes.
"So…you and Tamsin obviously have a thing...now I get why the Doc was upset, but I don't know if I'd call it full on cheating…is it?" she questioned while taking a long gulp from her glass, Bo doing the same while in deep thought. Figuring out how to answer.
"It could have been…" Bo paused and looked up anxiously meeting her friend's expression telling her to go on with her thought. "I was totally healed from whatever weird rush Tamsin gave me…but if Lauren hadn't walked in on us…" She trailed off, hoping for Kenzi to get the idea.
"You guys would have christened that pool table reeeaaalll good." Bo chuckles into her wine glass, almost spitting it out with a smile. This was why she loved Kenzi so much…everything was simple and fun.
"Well, what does TamTam have to say about this wonderful new Lady-Loving-Drama?"
"I don't know…but I'm serious Kenz, there was something there. When she wasn't trying to be secretive there was this softness in her eyes." Bo trailed off in a dreamy voice.
"Once you go Valkyrie, you never go back?" Kenzi teases earning another chuckle from Bo.
"Yeah. Something like that…She even stepped up to defend me when Lauren barged in."
"Wait, she was there when you guys fought?" the Russian girl was surprised, she figured that the blonde Fae would ditch at the first sign of unwanted drama. But she put Bo's own needs before her own safety when she made her keep feeding to heal her…maybe the detective really did have feelings for Bo. This needed more investigating.
"Only at first…I asked her if I could talk to Lauren alone. I told her that I'd see her tomorrow."
"Awe, are you guys gonna go on another life threatening, theme date? First the wild, wild, west and now what? Sci-fi fantasy space adventures?"
"That's it! I've dealt with the teasing enough." Bo stated, though she couldn't hide her smile as she rounded the island to make her way to her room. "If someone threatens the wellbeing of the world, tell them to go away till morning."
"Or I could just call Tamsin to come keep you company till morning!" Kenzi called after Bo, earning a middle finger tossed in her direction. Kenzi thought of one last thing as Bo made it to the stairs, "Wait! One more serious question and I promise you can go off to dream land…how was it? With the living Barbie doll I mean?"
Bo stopped and looked back with one foot on the stairs. Kenzi's eyebrow was risen in anticipation of her answer and she leaned forward, urging Bo to share the details. The Succubus ran through her pool table escapades in her head…trying to find a way to properly summarize it. She realized that there really only was one.
Bo smirked with a leer in Kenzi's direction as her eyes flashed blue and she placed a seductive bite to her lip before retreating to her bedroom, hearing nothing but a cheer from her roomie followed by a loud "Get it, girl!" in response to her creative answer.
Only when she curled up with her pillows did she realize that her relationship with Lauren really was over…she had tried so hard for so long but it was hurting both of them for a while and they knew it. Bo wanted nothing more then to have someone be her one and only, but she was starting to have doubts that it was possible for her.
She shook her head and closed her eyes. No, it wasn't impossible. Her grandmother had managed it with Trick. It would happen when she met the right person. Someone who would love her for all her faults and urges, someone who she could care for and protect from everything that dared question them. She lulled into a peaceful sleep of mindless dreams she would no doubt forget in the morning.
Tamsin tossed and turned in her sheets, a shine of sweat on her skin as she breathed uneasy with a troubled expression as she was plagued by the same nightmare that had been on repeat in her dreamscape for nearly a century now.
She scrambled through the forest, trying to keep her footing as she raced through the shadows. She looked back as a deep, animalistic growl echoed through the forest, causing her to pick up speed, the anger on her expression no longer masking the fear breaking through as she vaulted over a fallen tree trunk in her haste.
Her hair was braided back delicately to keep it out of her face as it fell in long, golden tendrils down to her lower back. Strands are threaded with beads and feathers, giving her a fierce appearance. A silver trimmed breastplate, decorated with designs of feathers and wings protected her chest, leaving her toned abdomen exposed. Wrist and shin guards emblazoned with similar designs protected her extremities along with a silver studded, black leather, short battle skirt that fluttered as she raced around fallen branches. Various daggers and throwing blades were belted to her waist, thighs, and arms, easily within reach.
A steep incline causes her to lose her balance as she stumbles and rolls down the hill, grunting at the impact with the cold ground. When the turf levels out, she rolls to a stop and groans at the strain on her muscles as she sits up slowly and crawls to her feet. Several scratches mar her skin along with smudges of dirt and bark stuck to her armor and body.
A spine-shaking howl can be heard from the top of the hill followed by several rabid snarls. Tamsin turns with a gasp, fear evident on her face as her eyes widen at the sight of the five disfigured, monstrous wolves glaring down at her with sickly yellow eyes that appear to glow through the darkness. Their lips curl up to reveal twisted teeth, salivating at the idea of a tasty Valkyrie snack.
Tamsin is able to shake her fear off in favor of survival as she bolts off through the trees, hearing the beasts make their way down the incline behind her. There was no time for her to conjure a portal to Valhalla, and there certainly was no losing these beasts. There're smarter then average animals—and she was beginning to realize why when she saw the symbols carved into the tree trunks she zipped past.
Emilina.
She ducked, just in time for one of the beasts to leap over her head with a snarl, crashing into a tree with a yelp and a sickening snap. The warrior shuffles into a quick turn, trying to double back out of this territory that suddenly became horribly familiar to her. Another snarl came from just ahead of her this time, as one of the mutts leaped from the brush to her right, aiming to take a chunk of her throat.
Time seemed to freeze as Tamsin let her battlefield instincts take over. She pivoted and steeled her stance to face the attacking hound while reaching to her thigh to unlatch her favorite curved knife—perfect for slitting throats. Only when the beast was close enough that Tamsin could see the flare of it's snout did she twist her body and leap up to latch onto the monster's neck, pulling it into a headlock while safely maneuvering behind it to avoid it's bite. Both went sliding along the dirt and leaves as they collided with the ground in a struggle until Tamsin wrapped her second hand around to pull a clean slit across its jugular.
"Down boy…" She held on until the beast quit struggling and stood up with a huff while whipping her bloody blade against a mossy tree trunk. Her victory was short lived as she turned to the grunts and rustling coming from the same direction. She took in her surroundings, panic and adrenaline running through her system and realized that there was only one direction she could go.
"Oh come on!" She groaned as she dashed back through the trees in the direction she least wanted to travel. All of her hardened instincts told her to turn around…but her primal ones told her she'd better try her luck with the trap the beasts were leading her to instead of taking on all of them at once.
The mutts were getting closer, nipping at her heels even as the symbols carved into the trees around her became more ominous—some even dripped with blood. Everything about this area of the forest screamed Black Magic, it made her shiver and shake at the feel of its cold touch. Sure…she may be Dark Fae, but she was a Valkyrie first and foremost, and their existence was honorable to say the least…nothing like the black spirits that lingered in this forest.
She came to a break in the trees, finding a clearing at the base of a short cliff. As soon as she entered the clearing, bright flames sprung up around its edges, blinding the blonde and causing her to trip and fall forward with a groan. She pulled herself to her knees and turned to see the flames extinguished and the beasts circling the area, their piercing eyes never leaving her but keeping their distance.
A rush of chilling energy crossed through Tamsin as she felt her body tossed like a rag doll into the cliff side, the air rushing from her lungs at the impact before falling to her hands and knees, a cut slowly bleeding just above her eyebrow added to the rest of her injuries. She calmed herself for only a moment before feeling the loss of control of her body again as it sprung up against the cliff side, arms spread to the side as forged steel shackles latched onto her wrists and ankles.
Panic quickly set in and lined the Valkyrie's eyes as a bright, large bonfire sprung to life a few yards ahead of her, the light from the flames highlighting the tense planes of her face as she heard the ominous crunch of slow footsteps coming into her direction.
She looked to the left of the bonfire to see a woman dressed in a tunic and skirt, adorned with beads and embroidery. Her long brown curls fell from a long scarf wrapped around the top of her head and long hoop earrings hung around her face. The pagan star that fell in the crook of the approaching woman's neck off a thin gold chain sparkled in the firelight, an ominous contrast to the darkness that Tamsin could see swirling behind her eyes.
"Emilina." Tamsin stated darkly, piercing into the gypsy Sorceress with her steely gaze. The beasts trotted up to their master and walked around her. One sat just next to her as she stroked its fur, none of the still snarling mutts moved their beady eyes from Tamsin.
"You like my babies, no?" Her accent was a very thick Eastern European as she spoke.
"Figures your kids would grow up on all fours." The blonde snarked, earning a glare from her captor. Emilina sauntered forward until she was face to face with the blonde. The Sorceress lifted a finger to wave it just before Tamsin's face, causing her to flinch and pull at her chains in reflex, wishing she could swing her fist into the woman's face. The gypsy's hand instead moved to caress the loose curls of the warrior's long, blonde hair.
"You Valkyries…always with such pretty hair." A swift flick of her nail cuts a lock loose, making Tamsin wince at the action. "Such power infused in each strand." The Sorceress inhales the aroma of the lock of the blonde's hair.
Tamsin struggles and rattles her bindings as she clenches her teeth in anger while her eyes narrow at the woman, "Anyone ever tell you that you've got some weird kinks?"
"To struggle does nothing. The bindings are enchanted." Emilina responds with a confident smirk as she glares up into Tamsin's eyes.
The blonde narrows her eyes and tilts her head slightly to the side. The air around her swirls in fear as her powers rise to the surface. Emilina's expression falls as she backs away with a furrowed eyebrow as she begins to doubt her motives. Tamsin's face darkens and the shadows line her eyes and cheeks as she tries to break down the gypsy's hold on her.
Emilina gasps and her eyes turn pitch black as she raises her hand, forcing a magical chokehold on Tamsin, "Release your hold on me, Valkyrie." She states with a struggled tone.
"You…first." Tamsin replies while struggling for air.
The Sorceress turns around with a groan, releasing her chokehold on Tamsin in the process. The blonde gasps for breath as the shadows dissipate from her face.
"Well…not that this hasn't been fun Emmy…but I've got much more important things to do so—" She's cut off by the blinding light created as the gypsy tosses the locks of her hair into the large bonfire. She cracks her eyes open enough to see her captor with her arms raised in a chant…one she recognized.
"SHIT!" Tamsin's face contorted in panic as she started struggling with a renewed vigor against the bonds, kicking dust up from the cliff wall, but failing to do anything but cut into her wrists and ankles, drawing blood.
"I am glad that you recognize your fate…it makes this so much sweeter." Emilina motions to one of her beasts, calling it toward her as she reveals an athame from her sleeve. "My babies mate for life, you know. It is hard…to devout yourself to one person for all of eternity…because once they're gone—" with a swift flick of her wrist, she cuts the throat of the beast, drawing it's blood onto her hands, smearing it in a generous layer over her palms, the crimson liquid dripping off in excess. Tamsin struggles with a renewed passion, the fire flashing the fear in her eyes to life.
"It was his time! I wasn't the one who killed him! All I did was my job, I took his spirit to paradise—"
"I saw you standing over his bloodied corpse! His blood was on your dagger!" the Sorceress responds as she starts her slow pace towards the warrior, sure to draw it out and enjoy the moment of her revenge. "You will receive penance for taking away my love."
"What exactly did you have in mind?" Tamsin stated through clenched teeth as she lifted her chin, refusing to give in without what little pride she had left despite the shakes of fear rattling in her bones.
"I hear your kind mates for life as well…your penance will be their penance." She states darkly as she stops before Tamsin, glaring her down as the black magic swirls around them. The blonde manages a smirk in response.
"I haven't found my warrior yet, Emilina. And even if I do, anything you cast on me won't effect them unless I bind myself to them…looks like you're wasting your time. Better luck next wolf hunt, yeah?" Tamsin states proudly, thinking she beat the revenge hungry Sorceress.
"Oh…but you will. And as you become closer to them you won't be able to fight your nature…or your penance," Tamsin's eyes widen again in horror, "Once the bond becomes strong enough, my will shall be done." The magics around them swirl to life, kicking up a wind of shadows and sparks as Emilina raises her still bloody hands to continue her curse. "Valkyrie…for destroying what was left of my soul, I wish the same fate unto you. The day that your warrior dies, their soul will wander these planes of existence for an eternity. Never in peace, never in paradise, and never in hell shall you see your mate. Their unrest will bring you nothing but turmoil in this life as well as your afterlife."
"Nooo!" Tamsin yells with tears trailing down her cheeks at the mere thought of such a fate for any worthy warrior, let alone her future bound guardian.
"You brought this on yourself, murderer!" Emilina grabs hold of Tamsin's face with her bloodied grip, bright sparks and light highlighting their eyes as the darkness swirls around the women, enveloping them in its power.
Tamsin starts screaming in agony as the gypsy's hands start smoking, burning the beast's sacrificed blood into her along with the penance curse, personalized to give a Valkyrie her own personal hell. The powerful wind kicks up around them a final time as Tamsin's eyes shoot open, changing from a sparkling gold to glowing a bright blue as the shadows melt into her pores, causing the blonde to shake in agony. Her eyes fade into the pitch black of an abyss before creeping out and across her skin, sealing the curse in place.
Emilina smirks and backs away from the battered Valkyrie, drooping down in exhaustion with only her bindings to hold her up. Tear tracks traced down to bind with the bloody handprints on her cheeks as she fought to keep her eyes open, never taking them off her biggest threat.
"Your sisters will find you soon...be sure and tell them you're cursed, I'm sure they'll take you in with open arms." A sinister laugh croaks from her lips as the ceremonial fire fades down to a smaller flame. The sorceress disappears in a flourish of the shadows around her, her pet beasts darting for the forest lining the clearing.
With the her last connection to consciousness…one simple word escapes Tamsin's lips in a whisper as her head lulls forward and she passes out.
"Isabeau…"
"Gah!" Tamsin wakes with a start as she shoots up in bed, panting at the intensity of her dream.
She looks around while gulping in air, collecting herself while checking for potential danger. The blonde's eyes show her turmoil as she rubs the back of her neck, hoping to ease the tension. Her nightmares hadn't been that intense for years…to think she thought they might actually be going away.
She remembered every single detail of that night as though it was only yesterday…although…the ending was new.
I called Bo's name?
She didn't remember that happening before…and it only made the whole thing more real.
